Aleppo was once the economic hub of Syria, but most of the city's businesses have closed since the war broke out four years ago. Many shop owners there are now struggling to adapt. Ahmad Kamel Shayyah, used to be a wedding dress shop owner. When the crisis hit Aleppo, the old market became a war zone. The day he closed his shop is still embedded in his memory.

Aleppo’s main shopping area swarmed with customers as it reopened for the first time in two years, Saturday.
Shop keepers displayed their goods and fixed shop entrances, while families walked between the different shops.
Al-Tall street market was closed after being targeted with missiles by armed groups. Aleppo locals begin to get back to normal life after the Syrian Army's announcement on December 22, that it had recaptured the whole of eastern Aleppo following four-years of militant occupation. Prior to the conflict, Aleppo was Syria’s industrial and financial centre.

(31 Jan 2017) LEADIN:
A Syrian soap maker is making his prestigious product from a factory just outside Paris.
Hassan Harastani's business in Aleppo was bombed but a client persuaded him to move to France and reopen.
STORY-LINE:
The Arabic stamp is a clue to where this product comes from.
Aleppo soap is a traditional and prestigious export long-produced in Syria.
But these bars are no longer made there.
Hassan Harastani's factory used to produce 250 tonnes of soap every year.
But the facility was bombed - he doesn't know who by - and the master soap maker left the country.
Harastani originally fled to Lebanon, but a French client suggested he move to France and open a new factory here in Santeny, 30 kilometres (18.6 miles) south east of Paris.
He says the process has remained very similar.
"The only difference is that in Aleppo, the hot soap dough is poured on the ground and then it is manually cut and here it is poured into moulds."
Harastani set up his French operation in 2014 and now produces 900 bars of soap a year - close to the amount he made back in Syria.
Olive oil and bay laurel oil are still key ingredients - the olive oil is imported from Tunisia and Span while the bay laurel oil comes from Turkey.
"There is no major difference between the olive oil from Syria or from Tunisia; it is the same type of oil and we chose the best one (available)," he says.
Samir Constantini is the French importer who has made this new factory possible.
In the early years of the Syrian war, he didn't think the conflict would last long.
He ordered 100 tonnes of Aleppo soap in 2012 - but the fighting did not stop.
So persuading his long-time soap supplier and friend Harastani to set up shop in France has meant he can still sell this popular cosmetic product.
And there are some distinct benefits in making the soap here rather than in Syria.
"In some countries, like in the USA or Canada where there has been an embargo in place for a long time (for products from) Syria, we can sell only the soap 'Made in France'," he explains.
"There are also Asian countries that like a lot of 'Made in France' products, and the fact that the soap is made in France is a proof of quality."
Constantini is still able to offer soap made in Syria as he has found another supplier who continues to manufacture the product.
But he is happy to give customers the choice of French-made soap.
He insists it is "at least the same quality" as Aleppo-produced soap due to France's strict cosmetic standards.
The soap is most popular with French customers and takes pride of place on display at this pharmacy in Creteil.
Pharmacy manager Said Sedaime is satisfied that French-made Aleppo soap is a good replacement for the Syrian bars he can no longer get hold of.
"The packaging is the same, even the smell is the same as from the soaps I was receiving couple of years ago from Aleppo," he says.
Aleppo's factories may have been forced to shut, but at least the knowledge and skills that made them famous live on.

21WIRE Editor Patrick Henningsen goes on the ground in Syria to inspect the once beautiful and historic city, damaged from 5 years of war, and witness the painful first signs of rebuilding in this war-torn city.
From 2012 to late 2016, half of Syria’s second largest city, Aleppo, was occupied by numerous terrorist factions, by the Free Syrian Army, ISIS and finally dominated by Jabat al Nusra – who took over many areas including the eastern side of the city. The damage to East Aleppo is immense, and despite the level of destruction some residents are beginning to return to liberated areas now secured by the Syrian government to try and rebuild their homes, businesses and lives.

Aleppo (x3)
Aleppo Living..
Those streets they look like a wasteland
I stop and wonder, do we even care?
They got no where to run home to, they got no one that they can call
Their world is broken, only God knows how they're coping
But we pretend that we can't see them
The world turns and our hearts get colder
What can I do I'm just a one man soldier?
Carry on watching TV on the sofa
Tell ourselves it'll soon be over
Cos we were supposed to be there for them
Lord, where did the Ummah go?
They were crying out there for us
But that's the life that they live their in Aleppo
Knee deep in Aleppo
Their sleeping in Aleppo..
Aleppo
Aleppo Living.. (x2)
I say these words so you can see, the Muslims dropped the ball.
Those were all of our family, but we didn't wanna know..
How dare we fight bout issues concerning you & me
Cos when that cookie crumbled, we had no unity
But we gotta be willing to change, cos lord knows this will happen on another day
Yes we gotta be willing to change, cos lord knows this will happen on another day
But what's a change gonna do if it's not today
When we ain't got time to stop and pray
Meanwhile another home got bombed today..
But that's the life that they live their in Aleppo
They're Knee deep in Aleppo
They're sleeping in Aleppo..
Aleppo (x2)
Gunshots every night in Aleppo
Another plane in the sky in Aleppo
Every day is a fight in Aleppo
Oh oh oh, Aleppo
Ya Allah send peace to Aleppo
Let everyone eat in Aleppo
We don't no screams from Aleppo
Oh oh oh, Aleppo living..

A Jordanian chemicals company has vehemently denied that it provided the Syrian government with chemical weapons.
It follows reports of the company's stickers on a barrel bomb dropped by the Syrian army on Aleppo.

Aleppo is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world; it has been inhabited since perhaps as early as the 6th millennium BC. Excavations at Tell as-Sawda and Tell al-Ansari, just south of the old city of Aleppo, show that the area was occupied since at least the latter part of the 3rd millennium BC; and this is also when Aleppo is first mentioned in cuneiform tablets unearthed in Ebla and Mesopotamia, in which it is noted for its commercial and military proficiency. Such a long history is probably due to its being a strategic trading point midway between the Mediterranean Sea and Mesopotamia (i.e. modern Iraq).

Syria

Syria (i/ˈsɪ.rɪə/; Arabic:سوريا‎ or سورية, Sūriyā or Sūrīyah), officially the Syrian Arab Republic, is a country in Western Asia. De jure Syrian territory borders Lebanon and the Mediterranean Sea to the west, Turkey to the north, Iraq to the east, Jordan to the south, and Israel to the southwest, but the government's control now extends to approximately 30–40% of the de jure state area and less than 60% of the population.

Video on demand

Video on demand (display) (VOD) are systems which allow users to select and watch/listen to video or audio content when they choose to, rather than having to watch at a specific broadcast time. IPTV technology is often used to bring video on demand to televisions and personal computers.

History

The origin of Aleppo soap is lost in time. Although claims of its great antiquity abound, such as references in the popular press to Egyptian Queen Cleopatra and Queen Zenobia of Syria using Aleppo soap, these claims have yet to be verified by Scholarly method.

It is commonly thought that the process of soap-making emanated from the Levant region (of which Aleppo is a main city) and to have moved west from there to Europe after the first crusades based on the claim that the earliest soap made in Europe was just after the crusades, but in fact the Romans in the first century AD knew about soap and Zosimos of Panopolis ca. 300 AD described soap and soapmaking.

Today most Aleppo soap, especially that containing more than 16% of laurel oil, is exported to Europe and East Asia.

A City Left in Ruins: The Battle for Aleppo

Subscribe to VICENews here: http://bit.ly/Subscribe-to-VICE-News
Until the civil war reached it two years ago, Aleppo was Syria's largest city and the country's commercial and industrial hub. Now the ancient city lies in ruins, 70 percent of its population has fled, and those who remain live under siege. Rebel-held areas are under constant bombardment by barrel bombs — crudely improvised explosive devices that are dropped from government aircraft.
As rebel and government forces struggle for total victory, VICE filmmaker Medyan Dairieh followed the volunteers of Aleppo's Civil Defense, a civilian rescue organization, who risk their lives daily as the first responders to government airstrikes in a city seemingly abandoned by the outside world.

Syria: footage emerges of Aleppo Carlton Hotel bomb blast

Footage purports to show moment an Aleppo hotel and several other buildings are flattened by a 'huge explosion'.
A "huge explosion" in northern Syria levelled a hotel that government troops used as a military base, along with several other buildings in a government-held area, state television and activists reported on Thursday.
Footage has emerged purporting to show the moment of the blast which sent up a huge plume of smoke.
Syrian state television said the explosion struck on the edge of a contested old neighborhood in Aleppo. The television report identified the hotel as the Carlton hotel.
A local activist group called the ShamNewsNetwork also reported the blast, saying that PresidentBashar al-Assad's troops were based in the hotel.
Another activist group, the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said the explosion struck Aleppo's Old City, where rebels have been holed up from months. The Observatory said the rebels belonging to the Islamic Front group planted a huge amount of explosives in a tunnel they dug below the Charlton hotel, detonating it remotely.
It said the hotel was completely destroyed in the blast and that there were casualties among the troops.
Aleppo, the country's largest city and former commercial hub, is carved up into rebel-held and government-held areas since the rebels launched an offensive there in mid-2010, capturing territory along Syria's northern border with Turkey.
In recent months, government aircraft relentlessly has bombed rebel-held areas of the city and the opposition fighters have hit back, firing mortars into government-held areas. The rebels also have detonated car bombs in residential areas, killing dozens of people.

Syria: Locals try to get back to normal life in Aleppo's Alshaar district

Locals were trying to get back to some form of normality in the Alshaar district of east Aleppo on Sunday, two weeks after the government took control of the area. Small stalls, selling bread and cigarettes, could be found among bombed out buildings and some cars could be seen driving through the streets, as the remaining residents seem determined to hold on.
SOT, Vendor (Arabic): "We came back approximately a week ago.
Journalist: How is the situation in general?
Vendor: The situation is good. People are coming back. It's safe and stable and God bless our Syrian army and our government and president Bashar Alassad."
SOT, Child (Arabic): "I have been here for two weeks.
Journalist: You came here from the first day this area was freed. How long has this area Alshaar been freed for?

Patrick Henningsen goes on the ground in East Aleppo, Syria

21WIRE Editor Patrick Henningsen goes on the ground in Syria to inspect the once beautiful and historic city, damaged from 5 years of war, and witness the painful first signs of rebuilding in this war-torn city.
From 2012 to late 2016, half of Syria’s second largest city, Aleppo, was occupied by numerous terrorist factions, by the Free Syrian Army, ISIS and finally dominated by Jabat al Nusra – who took over many areas including the eastern side of the city. The damage to East Aleppo is immense, and despite the level of destruction some residents are beginning to return to liberated areas now secured by the Syrian government to try and rebuild their homes, businesses and lives.

A City Left in Ruins: The Battle for Aleppo

Subscribe to VICENews here: http://bit.ly/Subscribe-to-VICE-News
Until the civil war reached it two years ago, Aleppo was Syria's largest city and the country's commercial and industrial hub. Now the ancient city lies in ruins, 70 percent of its population has fled, and those who remain live under siege. Rebel-held areas are under constant bombardment by barrel bombs — crudely improvised explosive devices that are dropped from government aircraft.
As rebel and government forces struggle for total victory, VICE filmmaker Medyan Dairieh followed the volunteers of Aleppo's Civil Defense, a civilian rescue organization, who risk their lives daily as the first responders to government airstrikes in a city seemingly abandoned by the outside world.

(31 Jan 2017) LEADIN:
A Syrian soap maker is making his prestigious product from a factory just outside Paris.
Hassan Harastani's business in Aleppo was bombed but a client persuaded him to move to France and reopen.
STORY-LINE:
The Arabic stamp is a clue to where this product comes from.
Aleppo soap is a traditional and prestigious export long-produced in Syria.
But these bars are no longer made there.
Hassan Harastani's factory used to produce 250 tonnes of soap every year.
But the facility was bombed - he doesn't know who by - and the master soap maker left the country.
Harastani originally fled to Lebanon, but a French client suggested he move to France and open a new factory here in Santeny, 30 kilometres (18.6 miles) south east of Paris.
He says the process has remained very similar.
"The only difference is that in Aleppo, the hot soap dough is poured on the ground and then it is manually cut and here it is poured into moulds."
Harastani set up his French operation in 2014 and now produces 900 bars of soap a year - close to the amount he made back in Syria.
Olive oil and bay laurel oil are still key ingredients - the olive oil is imported from Tunisia and Span while the bay laurel oil comes from Turkey.
"There is no major difference between the olive oil from Syria or from Tunisia; it is the same type of oil and we chose the best one (available)," he says.
Samir Constantini is the French importer who has made this new factory possible.
In the early years of the Syrian war, he didn't think the conflict would last long.
He ordered 100 tonnes of Aleppo soap in 2012 - but the fighting did not stop.
So persuading his long-time soap supplier and friend Harastani to set up shop in France has meant he can still sell this popular cosmetic product.
And there are some distinct benefits in making the soap here rather than in Syria.
"In some countries, like in the USA or Canada where there has been an embargo in place for a long time (for products from) Syria, we can sell only the soap 'Made in France'," he explains.
"There are also Asian countries that like a lot of 'Made in France' products, and the fact that the soap is made in France is a proof of quality."
Constantini is still able to offer soap made in Syria as he has found another supplier who continues to manufacture the product.
But he is happy to give customers the choice of French-made soap.
He insists it is "at least the same quality" as Aleppo-produced soap due to France's strict cosmetic standards.
The soap is most popular with French customers and takes pride of place on display at this pharmacy in Creteil.
Pharmacy manager Said Sedaime is satisfied that French-made Aleppo soap is a good replacement for the Syrian bars he can no longer get hold of.
"The packaging is the same, even the smell is the same as from the soaps I was receiving couple of years ago from Aleppo," he says.
Aleppo's factories may have been forced to shut, but at least the knowledge and skills that made them famous live on.

Aleppo (x3)
Aleppo Living..
Those streets they look like a wasteland
I stop and wonder, do we even care?
They got no where to run home to, they got no one that they can call
Their world is broken, only God knows how they're coping
But we pretend that we can't see them
The world turns and our hearts get colder
What can I do I'm just a one man soldier?
Carry on watching TV on the sofa
Tell ourselves it'll soon be over
Cos we were supposed to be there for them
Lord, where did the Ummah go?
They were crying out there for us
But that's the life that they live their in Aleppo
Knee deep in Aleppo
Their sleeping in Aleppo..
Aleppo
Aleppo Living.. (x2)
I say these words so you can see, the Muslims dropped the ball.
Those were all of our family, but we didn't wanna know..
How dare we fight bout issues concerning you & me
Cos when that cookie crumbled, we had no unity
But we gotta be willing to change, cos lord knows this will happen on another day
Yes we gotta be willing to change, cos lord knows this will happen on another day
But what's a change gonna do if it's not today
When we ain't got time to stop and pray
Meanwhile another home got bombed today..
But that's the life that they live their in Aleppo
They're Knee deep in Aleppo
They're sleeping in Aleppo..
Aleppo (x2)
Gunshots every night in Aleppo
Another plane in the sky in Aleppo
Every day is a fight in Aleppo
Oh oh oh, Aleppo
Ya Allah send peace to Aleppo
Let everyone eat in Aleppo
We don't no screams from Aleppo
Oh oh oh, Aleppo living..

Aleppo (x3)
Aleppo Living..
Those streets they look like a wasteland
I stop and wonder, do we even care?
They got no where to run home to, they got no one that they can call
Their world is broken, only God knows how they're coping
But we pretend that we can't see them
The world turns and our hearts get colder
What can I do I'm just a one man soldier?
Carry on watching TV on the sofa
Tell ourselves it'll soon be over
Cos we were supposed to be there for them
Lord, where did the Ummah go?
They were crying out there for us
But that's the life that they live their in Aleppo
Knee deep in Aleppo
Their sleeping in Aleppo..
Aleppo
Aleppo Living.. (x2)
I say these words so you can see, the Muslims dropped the ball.
Those were all of our family, but we didn't wanna know..
How dare we fight bout issues concerning you & me
Cos when that cookie crumbled, we had no unity
But we gotta be willing to change, cos lord knows this will happen on another day
Yes we gotta be willing to change, cos lord knows this will happen on another day
But what's a change gonna do if it's not today
When we ain't got time to stop and pray
Meanwhile another home got bombed today..
But that's the life that they live their in Aleppo
They're Knee deep in Aleppo
They're sleeping in Aleppo..
Aleppo (x2)
Gunshots every night in Aleppo
Another plane in the sky in Aleppo
Every day is a fight in Aleppo
Oh oh oh, Aleppo
Ya Allah send peace to Aleppo
Let everyone eat in Aleppo
We don't no screams from Aleppo
Oh oh oh, Aleppo living..

Until the civil war reached it two years ago, Aleppo was Syria's largest city and the country's commercial and industrial hub. Now the ancient city lies in ruins, 70 percent of its population has fled, and those who remain live under siege. Rebel-held areas are under constant bombardment by barrel bombs — crudely improvised explosive devices that are dropped from government aircraft.
As rebel and government forces struggle for total victory, VICE filmmaker Medyan Dairieh followed the volunteers of Aleppo's Civil Defense, a civilian rescue organization, who risk their lives daily as the first responders to government airstrikes in a city seemingly abandoned by the outside world.

Footage purports to show moment an Aleppo hotel and several other buildings are flattened by a 'huge explosion'.
A "huge explosion" in northern Syria levelled a hotel that government troops used as a military base, along with several other buildings in a government-held area, state television and activists reported on Thursday.
Footage has emerged purporting to show the moment of the blast which sent up a huge plume of smoke.
Syrian state television said the explosion struck on the edge of a contested old neighborhood in Aleppo. The television report identified the hotel as the Carlton hotel.
A local activist group called the ShamNewsNetwork also reported the blast, saying that PresidentBashar al-Assad's troops were based in the hotel.
Another activist group, the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said the explosion struck Aleppo's Old City, where rebels have been holed up from months. The Observatory said the rebels belonging to the Islamic Front group planted a huge amount of explosives in a tunnel they dug below the Charlton hotel, detonating it remotely.
It said the hotel was completely destroyed in the blast and that there were casualties among the troops.
Aleppo, the country's largest city and former commercial hub, is carved up into rebel-held and government-held areas since the rebels launched an offensive there in mid-2010, capturing territory along Syria's northern border with Turkey.
In recent months, government aircraft relentlessly has bombed rebel-held areas of the city and the opposition fighters have hit back, firing mortars into government-held areas. The rebels also have detonated car bombs in residential areas, killing dozens of people.

Locals were trying to get back to some form of normality in the Alshaar district of east Aleppo on Sunday, two weeks after the government took control of the area. Small stalls, selling bread and cigarettes, could be found among bombed out buildings and some cars could be seen driving through the streets, as the remaining residents seem determined to hold on.
SOT, Vendor (Arabic): "We came back approximately a week ago.
Journalist: How is the situation in general?
Vendor: The situation is good. People are coming back. It's safe and stable and God bless our Syrian army and our government and president Bashar Alassad."
SOT, Child (Arabic): "I have been here for two weeks.
Journalist: You came here from the first day this area was freed. How long has this area Alshaar been freed for?
Child: It was freed a month ago, after the 3rd or the 4th day of the liberation. I came and started selling here.
Journalist: How is the situation? Did the people come back to the area?
Child: Many people came back to their houses and shops are opened selling vegetables and other things."

Before the war, Aleppo was a bustling city, and Syria’s industrial and economic center. Now, after three months of relative peace and recovery, Aleppo is starting to see life return to normal. Some workshop owners have already returned to the war torn city, and are setting up shop to re-open before reconstruction begins. CGTN's Xu Dezhi has more.

A Moment in Aleppo, Syria

Prior to the Syrian Conflict, TravelTales visited the famed city of Aleppo, Syria losing themselves in a labyrinth of bustling passageways and chatting with merchants and locals. They described their experience a 'magical and memorable' and lucky for us they have gathered up some of their travel videos to share with all of us.
So on behalf of Travel Tales, enjoy a excerpt of their time in Aleppo, once Syria's largest and most populated city which sits in the north-western portion of the country close to Turkey's southern boarder and one of the longest inhabited cities with some scholars claiming it dates back to the 6th millennium BC. While it's history is long and vast we offer just a glimpse of life in the ancient metropolis with their video.

Aleppo (Syria) Vacation Travel Video Guide

Travel video about destination Aleppo in Syria.
Sturdy walls and gates protect the ancient historic city of Aleppo in Syria.The narrow lanes in the old town, and its many historic buildings, have retained all the character and charm of a mediaeval metropolis. The city has a flourishing economy which is mainly due to its favourable location at the junction of several important trading routes. In 1169 the UmayyadeMosque was re-built at the command of the Zengid monarch, Nureddin, but only its impressive forty five metre high minaret has survived to the present day. The Baits are true architectural gems of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, noble and often palatial-looking buildings that once belonged to the city’s elite classes. Today Aleppo shines out once again in the glory of its ...

Syrians seen smiling and excited as train travels through Aleppo for first time in over four years

A train travelled for the first time through Aleppo after a four and a half year disruption caused by the war.
The train departed from Jibrin station in the east of the Syrian capital, and was bound to the city's central Baghdad station. Even if this service in particular has been resumed, other services between Aleppo and both Syrian and foreign cities remain suspended because of the conflict.

Salam Syria Tour Spring 2017 - Aleppo

A compilation of photos from members of the group of the SalamSyria Tour during our time in Aleppo in April 2017. We spent time in both the western and eastern areas of Aleppo. The reality on the ground is opposite of what you are led to believe by western governments and media. The reality is that the Syrian War is an orchestrated regime change coup that has been in the works since 2006 and which has used legions of terrorists and extremists as paid proxy armies to do the dirty of the west and allies. The people in Aleppo are rebuilding, are reunited, now that the terrorists have been driven out of their city.

Advice To Those Who Travel To Syria For The Wrong Reasons

Palmyra (Syria) Vacation Travel Video Guide

Travel video about destination Palmyra in Syria.
The ruins of the ancient city of Palmyra rise up into the desert sky of Syria. The HadrianGate was built in the second century A.D. and highlights the glorious past of this once important trading metropolis in the Near East.Flanked by columns, a majestic twelve hundred metre long avenue was once Palmyra’s main street. As with many of the city’s other buildings it also has an impressive theatre that dates back to the second century A.D. and was discovered in the 1950’s. For some years it has once again served as a place of entertainment as each spring it features a festival. Close to the Agora, once a farmer’s market, is Palmyra’s striking main landmark, the Tetrapylon that forms the junction between the main avenue and a side road that lead...

Prior to the Syrian Conflict, TravelTales visited the famed city of Aleppo, Syria losing themselves in a labyrinth of bustling passageways and chatting with merchants and locals. They described their experience a 'magical and memorable' and lucky for us they have gathered up some of their travel videos to share with all of us.
So on behalf of Travel Tales, enjoy a excerpt of their time in Aleppo, once Syria's largest and most populated city which sits in the north-western portion of the country close to Turkey's southern boarder and one of the longest inhabited cities with some scholars claiming it dates back to the 6th millennium BC. While it's history is long and vast we offer just a glimpse of life in the ancient metropolis with their video.

Travel video about destination Aleppo in Syria.
Sturdy walls and gates protect the ancient historic city of Aleppo in Syria.The narrow lanes in the old town, and its many historic buildings, have retained all the character and charm of a mediaeval metropolis. The city has a flourishing economy which is mainly due to its favourable location at the junction of several important trading routes. In 1169 the UmayyadeMosque was re-built at the command of the Zengid monarch, Nureddin, but only its impressive forty five metre high minaret has survived to the present day. The Baits are true architectural gems of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, noble and often palatial-looking buildings that once belonged to the city’s elite classes. Today Aleppo shines out once again in the glory of its six thousand years of history and continues to highlight its unique significance as one of the most important cities in the Orient.

Travel video about destination Syria.
Syria is an ancient country of culture located between the Mediterranean and the desert. Its ancient desert metropolises, old villages, impenetrable fortresses and biblical harbour towns have witnessed the rich and fascinating history of bygone times.Damascus is the capital of Syria and symbol of culture in the Near East and located a hundred kilometres from the Mediterranean coast. The KalaaCitadel is situated on the periphery of the old town that was once surrounded by huge walls and it was from there that Saladin fended off the attacks of the Crusaders. The Khan As´Ad Pasha is often referred to as being the most beautiful caravansary in the Near East. Its inner courtyard is covered by eight mighty and partly painted cupolas each of which is supported by four pillars. Set amid the desert savannah of Syria are the proud remains of a unique and mysterious metropolis, Palmyra, a legendary ancient city that was built due to the existence of the TadmurOasis. The shortest and fastest route from the Mediterranean to Mesopotamia and Persia travels directly past the Tadmur Oasis thus it was only a question of time until an important trading post was founded there. Around a quarter of a million Bedouins live in Syria’s desert areas. They are nomads who speak Arabic and belong to the Muslim faith and their income is derived from sheep, goats and camels which produce both milk and meat. They travel the desert accompanied by their animals. Further north on the edge of the fertile Al Ghab Ditch is the ancient metropolis of Apameia, one of the most beautiful cities in the Near East. Apart from Bosra and Palmyra this huge city of ruins is one of the most important Hellenist regions in Syria. Syria is the Pearl Of The East. With deserts, wadis and mountains, castles and crusader fortresses, Roman ruins, palaces and mosques. A legendary country between both past and future whose cultural treasures still survive today.

The train departed from Jibrin station in the east of the Syrian capital, and was bound to the city's central Baghdad station. Even if this service in particular has been resumed, other services between Aleppo and both Syrian and foreign cities remain suspended because of the conflict.

A compilation of photos from members of the group of the SalamSyria Tour during our time in Aleppo in April 2017. We spent time in both the western and eastern areas of Aleppo. The reality on the ground is opposite of what you are led to believe by western governments and media. The reality is that the Syrian War is an orchestrated regime change coup that has been in the works since 2006 and which has used legions of terrorists and extremists as paid proxy armies to do the dirty of the west and allies. The people in Aleppo are rebuilding, are reunited, now that the terrorists have been driven out of their city.
Music is Gregorian's remake of Nothing Else Matters used in accordance with YouTube's music policies.

Travel video about destination Palmyra in Syria.
The ruins of the ancient city of Palmyra rise up into the desert sky of Syria. The HadrianGate was built in the second century A.D. and highlights the glorious past of this once important trading metropolis in the Near East.Flanked by columns, a majestic twelve hundred metre long avenue was once Palmyra’s main street. As with many of the city’s other buildings it also has an impressive theatre that dates back to the second century A.D. and was discovered in the 1950’s. For some years it has once again served as a place of entertainment as each spring it features a festival. Close to the Agora, once a farmer’s market, is Palmyra’s striking main landmark, the Tetrapylon that forms the junction between the main avenue and a side road that leads to the city’s Necropolis. The subterranean Hypogaum Of The Three Brothers contains almost four hundred burial corridors and numerous artistic sculptures and frescos. From the seventh century A.D. the magnificent trading metropolis gradually fell into decline and was almost completely wiped from the map. Thankfully however, today the atmospheric ruins serve as a reminder of Palmyra’s glorious past.

Syria: Shop owners in Aleppo's Old City prepare to return to business

Shop owners from the Old City of Aleppo began preparations to get back to business after the area was taken back by the Syrian Arab Army from opposition forces, Sunday.
SOT, resident of Aleppo (Arabic): "The thing that we want of Russia, as it helped us in liberating the old city of Aleppo and its markets, we want it to help us to rebuild Aleppo and its old city and to rebuild all of Syria, God's will."
SOT, officer (Arabic): "We are searching the old city and the markets to remove the remnants of weapons, in order to help civilians to return to their shops and to reopen them and work there."
SOT, shop owner (Arabic): "I came to my shop in this souk. The souk is destroyed because of the terrorists who burned most of the souk. Every shop in the old Aleppo markets provides and supports 5 families."

Aleppo shop owner struggles to adapt after business shut down

Aleppo was once the economic hub of Syria, but most of the city's businesses have closed since the war broke out four years ago. Many shop owners there are now struggling to adapt. Ahmad Kamel Shayyah, used to be a wedding dress shop owner. When the crisis hit Aleppo, the old market became a war zone. The day he closed his shop is still embedded in his memory.

Syria: Aleppo's famous street market reopens after two years of closure

Aleppo’s main shopping area swarmed with customers as it reopened for the first time in two years, Saturday.
Shop keepers displayed their goods and fixed shop entrances, while families walked between the different shops.
Al-Tall street market was closed after being targeted with missiles by armed groups. Aleppo locals begin to get back to normal life after the Syrian Army's announcement on December 22, that it had recaptured the whole of eastern Aleppo following four-years of militant occupation. Prior to the conflict, Aleppo was Syria’s industrial and financial centre.

Aleppo soap maker moves factory to France

(31 Jan 2017) LEADIN:
A Syrian soap maker is making his prestigious product from a factory just outside Paris.
Hassan Harastani's business in Aleppo was bombed but a client persuaded him to move to France and reopen.
STORY-LINE:
The Arabic stamp is a clue to where this product comes from.
Aleppo soap is a traditional and prestigious export long-produced in Syria.
But these bars are no longer made there.
Hassan Harastani's factory used to produce 250 tonnes of soap every year.
But the facility was bombed - he doesn't know who by - and the master soap maker left the country.
Harastani originally fled to Lebanon, but a French client suggested he move to France and open a new factory here in Santeny, 30 kilometres (18.6 miles) south east of Paris.
He says the process has remained very similar.
"The only difference is that in Aleppo, the hot soap dough is poured on the ground and then it is manually cut and here it is poured into moulds."
Harastani set up his French operation in 2014 and now produces 900 bars of soap a year - close to the amount he made back in Syria.
Olive oil and bay laurel oil are still key ingredients - the olive oil is imported from Tunisia and Span while the bay laurel oil comes from Turkey.
"There is no major difference between the olive oil from Syria or from Tunisia; it is the same type of oil and we chose the best one (available)," he says.
Samir Constantini is the French importer who has made this new factory possible.
In the early years of the Syrian war, he didn't think the conflict would last long.
He ordered 100 tonnes of Aleppo soap in 2012 - but the fighting did not stop.
So persuading his long-time soap supplier and friend Harastani to set up shop in France has meant he can still sell this popular cosmetic product.
And there are some distinct benefits in making the soap here rather than in Syria.
"In some countries, like in the USA or Canada where there has been an embargo in place for a long time (for products from) Syria, we can sell only the soap 'Made in France'," he explains.
"There are also Asian countries that like a lot of 'Made in France' products, and the fact that the soap is made in France is a proof of quality."
Constantini is still able to offer soap made in Syria as he has found another supplier who continues to manufacture the product.
But he is happy to give customers the choice of French-made soap.
He insists it is "at least the same quality" as Aleppo-produced soap due to France's strict cosmetic standards.
The soap is most popular with French customers and takes pride of place on display at this pharmacy in Creteil.
Pharmacy manager Said Sedaime is satisfied that French-made Aleppo soap is a good replacement for the Syrian bars he can no longer get hold of.
"The packaging is the same, even the smell is the same as from the soaps I was receiving couple of years ago from Aleppo," he says.
Aleppo's factories may have been forced to shut, but at least the knowledge and skills that made them famous live on.

Patrick Henningsen goes on the ground in East Aleppo, Syria

21WIRE Editor Patrick Henningsen goes on the ground in Syria to inspect the once beautiful and historic city, damaged from 5 years of war, and witness the painful first signs of rebuilding in this war-torn city.
From 2012 to late 2016, half of Syria’s second largest city, Aleppo, was occupied by numerous terrorist factions, by the Free Syrian Army, ISIS and finally dominated by Jabat al Nusra – who took over many areas including the eastern side of the city. The damage to East Aleppo is immense, and despite the level of destruction some residents are beginning to return to liberated areas now secured by the Syrian government to try and rebuild their homes, businesses and lives.

Aleppo (x3)
Aleppo Living..
Those streets they look like a wasteland
I stop and wonder, do we even care?
They got no where to run home to, they got no one that they can call
Their world is broken, only God knows how they're coping
But we pretend that we can't see them
The world turns and our hearts get colder
What can I do I'm just a one man soldier?
Carry on watching TV on the sofa
Tell ourselves it'll soon be over
Cos we were supposed to be there for them
Lord, where did the Ummah go?
They were crying out there for us
But that's the life that they live their in Aleppo
Knee deep in Aleppo
Their sleeping in Aleppo..
Aleppo
Aleppo Living.. (x2)
I say these words so you can see, the Muslims dropped the ball.
Those were all of our family, but we didn't wanna know..
How dare we fight bout issues concerning you & me
Cos when that cookie crumbled, we had no unity
But we gotta be willing to change, cos lord knows this will happen on another day
Yes we gotta be willing to change, cos lord knows this will happen on another day
But what's a change gonna do if it's not today
When we ain't got time to stop and pray
Meanwhile another home got bombed today..
But that's the life that they live their in Aleppo
They're Knee deep in Aleppo
They're sleeping in Aleppo..
Aleppo (x2)
Gunshots every night in Aleppo
Another plane in the sky in Aleppo
Every day is a fight in Aleppo
Oh oh oh, Aleppo
Ya Allah send peace to Aleppo
Let everyone eat in Aleppo
We don't no screams from Aleppo
Oh oh oh, Aleppo living..

A City Left in Ruins: The Battle for Aleppo

Subscribe to VICENews here: http://bit.ly/Subscribe-to-VICE-News
Until the civil war reached it two years ago, Aleppo was Syria's largest city and the country's commercial and industrial hub. Now the ancient city lies in ruins, 70 percent of its population has fled, and those who remain live under siege. Rebel-held areas are under constant bombardment by barrel bombs — crudely improvised explosive devices that are dropped from government aircraft.
As rebel and government forces struggle for total victory, VICE filmmaker Medyan Dairieh followed the volunteers of Aleppo's Civil Defense, a civilian rescue organization, who risk their lives daily as the first responders to government airstrikes in a city seemingly abandoned by the outside world.

Syria: footage emerges of Aleppo Carlton Hotel bomb blast

Footage purports to show moment an Aleppo hotel and several other buildings are flattened by a 'huge explosion'.
A "huge explosion" in northern Syria levelled a hotel that government troops used as a military base, along with several other buildings in a government-held area, state television and activists reported on Thursday.
Footage has emerged purporting to show the moment of the blast which sent up a huge plume of smoke.
Syrian state television said the explosion struck on the edge of a contested old neighborhood in Aleppo. The television report identified the hotel as the Carlton hotel.
A local activist group called the ShamNewsNetwork also reported the blast, saying that PresidentBashar al-Assad's troops were based in the hotel.
Another activist group, the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said the explosion struck Aleppo's Old City, where rebels have been holed up from months. The Observatory said the rebels belonging to the Islamic Front group planted a huge amount of explosives in a tunnel they dug below the Charlton hotel, detonating it remotely.
It said the hotel was completely destroyed in the blast and that there were casualties among the troops.
Aleppo, the country's largest city and former commercial hub, is carved up into rebel-held and government-held areas since the rebels launched an offensive there in mid-2010, capturing territory along Syria's northern border with Turkey.
In recent months, government aircraft relentlessly has bombed rebel-held areas of the city and the opposition fighters have hit back, firing mortars into government-held areas. The rebels also have detonated car bombs in residential areas, killing dozens of people.

A Moment in Aleppo, Syria

Prior to the Syrian Conflict, TravelTales visited the famed city of Aleppo, Syria losing themselves in a labyrinth of bustling passageways and chatting with merchants and locals. They described their experience a 'magical and memorable' and lucky for us they have gathered up some of their travel videos to share with all of us.
So on behalf of Travel Tales, enjoy a excerpt of their time in Aleppo, once Syria's largest and most populated city which sits in the north-western portion of the country close to Turkey's southern boarder and one of the longest inhabited cities with some scholars claiming it dates back to the 6th millennium BC. While it's history is long and vast we offer just a glimpse of life in the ancient metropolis with their video.

Aleppo (Syria) Vacation Travel Video Guide

Travel video about destination Aleppo in Syria.
Sturdy walls and gates protect the ancient historic city of Aleppo in Syria.The narrow lanes in the old town, and its many historic buildings, have retained all the character and charm of a mediaeval metropolis. The city has a flourishing economy which is mainly due to its favourable location at the junction of several important trading routes. In 1169 the UmayyadeMosque was re-built at the command of the Zengid monarch, Nureddin, but only its impressive forty five metre high minaret has survived to the present day. The Baits are true architectural gems of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, noble and often palatial-looking buildings that once belonged to the city’s elite classes. Today Aleppo shines out once again in the glory of its six thousand years of history and continues to highlight its unique significance as one of the most important cities in the Orient.

Syria Vacation Travel Video Guide

Travel video about destination Syria.
Syria is an ancient country of culture located between the Mediterranean and the desert. Its ancient desert metropolises, old villages, impenetrable fortresses and biblical harbour towns have witnessed the rich and fascinating history of bygone times.Damascus is the capital of Syria and symbol of culture in the Near East and located a hundred kilometres from the Mediterranean coast. The KalaaCitadel is situated on the periphery of the old town that was once surrounded by huge walls and it was from there that Saladin fended off the attacks of the Crusaders. The Khan As´Ad Pasha is often referred to as being the most beautiful caravansary in the Near East. Its inner courtyard is covered by eight mighty and partly painted cupolas each of which is supported by four pillars. Set amid the desert savannah of Syria are the proud remains of a unique and mysterious metropolis, Palmyra, a legendary ancient city that was built due to the existence of the TadmurOasis. The shortest and fastest route from the Mediterranean to Mesopotamia and Persia travels directly past the Tadmur Oasis thus it was only a question of time until an important trading post was founded there. Around a quarter of a million Bedouins live in Syria’s desert areas. They are nomads who speak Arabic and belong to the Muslim faith and their income is derived from sheep, goats and camels which produce both milk and meat. They travel the desert accompanied by their animals. Further north on the edge of the fertile Al Ghab Ditch is the ancient metropolis of Apameia, one of the most beautiful cities in the Near East. Apart from Bosra and Palmyra this huge city of ruins is one of the most important Hellenist regions in Syria. Syria is the Pearl Of The East. With deserts, wadis and mountains, castles and crusader fortresses, Roman ruins, palaces and mosques. A legendary country between both past and future whose cultural treasures still survive today.

Syrians seen smiling and excited as train travels through Aleppo for first time in over four years

A train travelled for the first time through Aleppo after a four and a half year disruption caused by the war.
The train departed from Jibrin station in the east of the Syrian capital, and was bound to the city's central Baghdad station. Even if this service in particular has been resumed, other services between Aleppo and both Syrian and foreign cities remain suspended because of the conflict.

Salam Syria Tour Spring 2017 - Aleppo

A compilation of photos from members of the group of the SalamSyria Tour during our time in Aleppo in April 2017. We spent time in both the western and eastern areas of Aleppo. The reality on the ground is opposite of what you are led to believe by western governments and media. The reality is that the Syrian War is an orchestrated regime change coup that has been in the works since 2006 and which has used legions of terrorists and extremists as paid proxy armies to do the dirty of the west and allies. The people in Aleppo are rebuilding, are reunited, now that the terrorists have been driven out of their city.
